A is natural. But it sounds like the boss raised his voice. "Scold" is the wrong verb to use here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scoldA boss who "scolds" an employee is likely to face disciplinary action of his own! @u-1 No, the word is not considered offensive, but it would be unprofessional and inappropriate for a supervisor to scold an employee.

A is natural. But it sounds like the boss raised his voice.

B should be "gave her a word of warning in his office" or "gave a word of warning to her in his office". The first one is better.
